IMPROVEMENT IN PORTABLE LIMEKILNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 198,964, dated January 8, 1878; application filed January 2, 1877.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, HENRY H. BOURNE, of Cloud county, in the State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Lime-Burning Apparatus, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved portable apparatus for making lime. Fig. 2 is a vertical section, and Fig. 3 an inverted view, of the same.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by like letters.

This invention relates to a certainimprovement in apparatus for makin g lime, the object of which is to provide'for steady and uniform combustion and the detachability of the parts; and it consists, principally, of two or more sections, of suitable capacity, disposed one upon the other, the lower one having supporting-flanges, which receive the lower edge of the upper section, wedged or fastened therein by bands placed around the latter section, and inserted in the supporting-flanges, substantially as hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, A A refer to two or more sections, constituting an apparatus of proper capacity, and made of any suitable material and shape. These sections are disposed one upon the other, and supported, each succeeding one, upon upwardly-curved flanges a a, fastened to the one next below,

and within which they are wedged or confined by bands or straps cc, placed around the said sections, and inserted into the said flanges a c, as seen in Fig. 2.

By simply removing the bands or straps c c, it will be seen that the respective sections can be readily taken apart, to allow the apparatus to be easily transported.

B is the bottom, having a flange, f f, 'projecting up around the lowest section. In the bottom B and sides of one or more of the sevutilizing what would otherwise prove to be it a waste It will also be remarked that as the con tents of the apparatus become converted into lime, that portion thus converted can be removed without having to wait until the whole is burned.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The perforated or imperforated sections A A, in combination with straps or bands 0 c, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The perforated sections A A, provided with handles G O and perforated bottom or grate B, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

HENRY H. BOURNE.
